Subject: hwrng: omap - write registers after enabling the clock
From: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
commit 45c2fdde01299b02a6e3225e848598a3c1e55539 upstream.
Commit 383212425c926 ("hwrng: omap - Add device variant for SafeXcel
IP-76 found in Armada 8K") added support for the SafeXcel IP-76 variant
of the IP. This modification included getting a reference and enabling a
clock. Unfortunately, this was done *after* writing to the
RNG_INTMASK_REG register. This generally works fine when the driver is
built-in because the clock might have been left enabled by the
bootloader, but fails short when the driver is built as a module: it
causes a system hang because a register is being accessed while the
clock is not enabled.
This commit fixes that by making the register access *after* enabling
the clock.
This issue was found by the kernelci.org testing effort.
